Featuring accommodation with a balcony, Sai Shanti House is set in Lamu. The apartment, housed in a building dating from 2002, is 200 metres from the Mnarani House. Free WiFi is available throughout the property and Manda Beach is 300 metres away. Very warm and friendly reception. Beyond expectations! We were initially doubting to book due to a false comment of bathroom privacy issue, but we took chances and had a lovely stay, bathroom/shower is separated with locking mechanism from both sides. Host is super friendly, and greets/welcomes from Jetty, and even from Airport offers pickup service, which feels like home. We broke a glass accidently and they were cool about it too. Very accommodating, always at service to take us around as historical alleys there don't show up in Maps. We will return for sure.

Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a private pool, mountain view and a terrace, Milimani Villa-Fully airconditioned Villa is set in Shela.

Shela Beach is 700 metres from Milimani Villa-Fully airconditioned Villa, while Mnarani House is 300 metres away. The house is wonderful, spacious, luxury and quiet. Bassam is a great host and the staff are excellent too. We had a great time exploring from here or just enjoying doing nothing much at all. It is a bit outside Shela, but not that far and a nice village walk.
